    Default New English Shorinji Kempo Book

    Hi All,

    When in Japan in 2013, I was advised that a new 'complete' Shorinji Kempo book, in English, would be published in 2014. Is anyone aware of its progress?

    Also, there is a new SK book series available on ebay (The Quest for a continuous photo Shorinji Kempo Tsuyoshi-ho Hen). Are these the same as the Goho, Juho 1 and Juho 2 books?

    Cheers, Rob

    I think this is the English book you are talking of:

    You can find it in Amazon (from UK and other countries at well)

    For the new continuous photo books, it is a new collection. They are similar to the old series (Goho, and Juho 1&2), but with different kenshi/senseis performing hokei, photos in color, new logo, and not the same techniques (or at least, not in the same order). They have published three volumes so far: One for Nio ken, other for the rest of go-ho kenkei, and another covering Ryuoken. You can find them at Amazon Japan. Here is the link to the first one (But, Hey!, when they publish the fourth and next, don't run too much. Let me get mine before!!! )

    Best regards,

    Kesshu.
